About False Duck Island Lighthouse
Also known as: False Duck Island (Swetman) (relocated lantern)
The False Duck Island lighthouse, built in 1967, is a cylindrical stone tower standing 10 meters high. This structure incorporates the lantern, gallery, and a 3rd order Fresnel lens from the original False Duck Island lighthouse. It was erected on its namesake island to guide mariners navigating the waters near the island. The nearest port is Picton, located 6.6 kilometers away. The light at this location is currently operational.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is significant for its architectural continuity, preserving and reusing the original 3rd order Fresnel lens, lantern, and gallery from its predecessor.
